Jason Wu Spring 2017



Having been an early cheer leader of Jason Wu, I am somewhat flummoxed by his progressive devolving. Once upon a time, it occurred to me that he might be a future Blass or one of a new generation of the formidable stalwarts of Seventh Avenue but alas he has morphed into “too bad Wu sad.”

What happened to slick, to refined and to clothes that could be worn in the real world? Can we speak of the Diane Freis number that crept in or the spider web transparent pieces or the cheesy metallics … or did I miss something here? So much of the fabric looks like a nickel a mile and even the lush embroidery looks a bit cheap and tacky.

What happened to refined and elegant... they surely have left the building!
